Abstract
This research studies the effectiveness and challenges of autoproctoring technologies used to ensure academic integrity in distance education. With the transition to distance learning models during the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of ensuring academic honesty became even more pressing. According to research results, although modern autoproctoring systems demonstrate high effectiveness in maintaining academic integrity, there are a number of technological, legal, psychological, and pedagogical challenges. It has been determined that balancing the technological capabilities of autoproctoring systems with pedagogical approaches is the most effective way to increase academic transparency in distance education.
